On June 10, 2024, Thompson Creek Window Company of Lanham, Maryland, appeared on the leak site operated by the Black Basta ransomware group. The listing states that roughly 750 GB of the company’s internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. Anyone who has worked with or done business with the Mid-Atlantic home-improvement firm—employees, customers, or contractors—may now have personal information exposed.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.
A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Details in the Leak-Site Listing
The Black Basta posting, accessible via the .onion link indexed by ransomware.live, claims the stolen archive contains five broad categories of material: corporate data, financial and accounting records, human-resources and hiring files, payroll documents including personal tax forms and agreements, and assorted personal documents belonging to both employees and clients. The listing does not quantify the number of affected individuals, nor does it publish sample files. It simply advertises the volume and variety of data taken and threatens further publication if demands are not met. The disclosure indicates the breach occurred through a ransomware deployment that also encrypted systems before data was removed.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If your name, address, Social Security number, tax documents, or banking details appear in Thompson Creek’s HR, payroll, or client files, those records may now be in the hands of criminals. Personal tax forms and payroll data are especially dangerous because they often bundle multiple pieces of identifying information in one convenient package. For families in the Mid-Atlantic region who purchased windows, doors, siding, or roofing from the company since 1980, client folders may contain contracts, payment histories, and contact information that can be used for identity theft or targeted scams. Even if you never received a formal breach notice, the public listing means the clock is already running on potential misuse of your data.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Ransomware operators rarely stop at posting generic archives. Once employee or client names surface, attackers and opportunistic criminals begin linking them to email addresses, phone numbers, and online handles found in the same dataset. These identity chains can lead to account takeovers on personal email, banking, or social-media accounts. Children’s information sometimes appears in employee family-health or dependent records; those details can cascade into gaming-account compromises that expose additional personal photos, chat logs, and location data. The result is a widening web of doxxing that can affect every member of a household long after the initial breach is forgotten.
